During the time of the Great Galactic War, sometime before the year 3664 BBY, a duel occurred between the Jedi Padawan known as Xerender and the Sith Lord called Darth Baras. Xerender received assistance in this battle from his Jedi Master, Wyellett, who made an effort to convert Baras to the light side of the Force. This attempt by the Jedi was unsuccessful, and even though Baras was able to get away, Wyellett was successful in seizing the Sith Lord's lightsaber and wielding it alongside his own weapon.
